[Tactician]

didn't they mention somewhere that the scouts will be able to find players based on my pref?

They were just talking bull****, just like some were talking bull**** about having different lists coming through the open sign period. Even that woman on the video talked bull**** or more like in an innappropriate way with the 'choose your prefered position' thing, but I did point that out in one of my post.
It is said in the rules that there will be 1 list coming on the 3rd that the user will have upto the 7th day to sign players from that list. Only on day 8th and after that the user can set some sort of focus for the next upcoming list.
